Back at the Dancing Ink Pavilion, Lu Xi was already waiting for the next time, and when she saw the two people coming back, she was busy asking questions.

Duanmuqing was hungry because he didn't eat anything at the banquet, so he ordered someone to bring some snacks over, and left the described task to Cai Wei.

Listening to Cai Wei's words, Lu Xi was resentful, "That mother and daughter are so hateful, so many people present are watching, and they even open their eyes and talk nonsense, saying that the pearl is the person next to the young lady." ”

Cai Wei nodded and smiled, and asked Duanmu Qing suspiciously, "Miss, how did you know that Aunt Li would hide the Broken Intestine Grass on you?" ”

Duanmu Qing smiled and shook his head, "I don't know, it's just that I am careful and prepared." ”

Hearing this, the two couldn't help but admire Duanmuqing from the bottom of their hearts, and they could even guess this, it was like a god.

"That miss, look at that pearl ......" This question has been held in Cai Wei's heart for a long time, but she has never dared to say it.

"Naturally, the queen killed it," took a sip of tea, Duanmu Qing moistened his throat, "That pattern should have been added when Pearl's body was dragged down for inspection, so that it can not only protect the Yongding Marquis Mansion, but also divert her attention and protect herself, if the Yongding Marquis Mansion finds out later, she has to thank her for saving her life." ”

Seeing that it was getting late, Cai Wei and Lu Xi didn't say anything more, and prepared to retreat and arrange for Duanmu Qing to wash.

"Picking rose." When he walked to the door, he heard Duanmu Qing calling, so he had to retreat again.

"Why choose me?" Duanmu Qing's eyes sparkled as he looked at her, and there was a light that could not be deceived.

Lu Xi, who was making the bed on the side, was also stunned, not knowing why Duanmu Qing asked this.

"Follow Miss, you won't be wronged."

Cai Wei's voice was calm, but firm.

"Aunt Li is powerful in the house, and most of the people who follow her are prosperous, but she is not soft-hearted when she is abandoned, just like today's pearls, although the slave is stupid, but her heart for the slave has also been seen in the bottom of her eyes over the years, following the young lady, it's a big deal that it has been hard to live with the suppression of the Dancing Ink Pavilion, and it has been like this all these years.

Although the young lady is not powerful, she will not be angry with us, she is more comfortable in her heart, and she will not be wronged by namelessness. ”

I didn't expect this girl to have such insight, and I thought of the jade head, "Do you know that as soon as this incident came out today, you will completely become a thorn in Aunt Li's side." ”

"Mademoiselle will defend the slaves, right?" Cai Wei knelt down gently, looking at Duanmu Qing with a pair of eyes firmly.

Duanmu Qing was stunned for a long time, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Cai Wei is not a child, but it is easy to add a younger brother to the family, and I can't support so many people, so I was sold, and my father and mother thought I was losing money, and my grandfather and grandmother thought I was not a brother, and I was tired of my mother being idle, and I was sold to Hou Mansion as a young lady's maid, although she often lacked monthly profits, but she had food and clothing, and she was not disliked, and Cai Wei was content."

Thinking of the way Cai Wei was finally taken away by her parents in her previous life, she couldn't help but regret it, she was too arrogant at that time, and she never thought about what kind of thoughts the people around her were to abandon such a girl.

"Okay," stretched out his hand to help the person on the ground, and Duanmu Qing had a trace of warmth in his eyes, "As long as you follow me with all your heart, with me, I will definitely not let people bully you." ”

Lu Xi was originally a person who was full of joy and anger, but at this time, where could she still hold back, and knelt next to Cai Wei with a pop, "Miss, Lu Xi has followed Miss all her life." ”

A smile appeared on Duanmu Qing's face, "You knelt in front of me one by one, do you want people to look at me and think I'm bullying you?" ”

Hearing this, the two looked at each other and smiled, and stood up embarrassedly.

Stretching his waist, Duanmu Qing said: "Okay, I'm tired too, let's rest early!" There's something to do tomorrow! ”

The next day, the Wumo Pavilion, which had always been quiet in the Hou Mansion, suddenly became lively, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going, Duanmu Su was dressed in plain clothes, and when he saw Duanmu Qing's eyes, he immediately turned red, "Big sister." ”

Duanmu Qing couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart, but because of the memory of her previous life, she hurriedly took her hand, "Okay, okay, now that we're in the Wumo Pavilion, our sisters are together, what can't you say when you can't say anything?" Take a good look, what are we missing? ”

Hearing this, Duanmusu shook his head, "I have few things, and I can't move them in a while, but this time I came to you, and my mother added a lot of things." ”

Hearing this, Duanmu Qing couldn't help laughing, "Otherwise, how can you get by on your face?" Is it possible that you have to put the charge of mistreating your daughter on your face? ”

Duanmusu just grinned and didn't answer, but his eyes sparkled.

Duanmu Qing had to remind himself that Su'er was only eight years old at this time! I don't quite understand the corners of those houses.

The bustle here has been noisy until the evening, either this person comes to take a look or that person comes to take a look, although he is not very popular on weekdays, but Duanmu Qing is the eldest lady after all, and this matter was personally ordered by the Hou Ye, so he has to do enough to save face.

Duanmu Qing was too lazy to see those people, so he handed them all over to Cai Wei and Lu Xi.

It was Qiu Tian, who got the news of Duanmujun, so he also came, looked at Duanmusu carefully, instructed his daughter a few words, and invited Duanmusu to walk around and leave.

Lu Xi couldn't help but smile and said: "Madame rarely goes out, the fourth lady moved here, and the lady came over in person, so it can be seen that she likes the fourth lady in her heart." ”

Duanmu Su was feeling weak because of Qiu Tian's indifferent attitude, and when he heard Lu Xi's words, he couldn't help but have some doubts.

Cai Wei said with a smile: "Fourth Miss doesn't know, our lady has a cold temperament, she is not very good at entertaining people, and her health is not good, so she will not be out of Wen Yaxuan without major events, and even Wumo Pavilion is not very popular, I came to see you today, it can be seen that I am really happy." ”

Hearing this, Duanmu Su was relieved, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

It wasn't until the evening that everything was settled, the two had eaten together and were talking, but Duanmu Jun came.

Duanmusu had hardly seen Duanmu Jun, and because he was the Hou Ye, he was inevitably a little nervous, so he hurriedly stood up and timidly shouted "Second Uncle", and stood aside.

Duanmu Qing greeted him with a smile, "Why did Daddy come over so late?" Busy today? It's getting hotter and hotter, beware of heat stroke. ”

He took a box from the little girl's hand, handed it to Duanmusu, and said with a smile: "You are happy to move today, my uncle has something to do, now make up a gift and see if you like it." ”

Duanmusu was flattered, and hurriedly took it and thanked him.

Duanmu Qing blinked, sat Duanmu Jun on the Taishi chair, and made tea with his own hands, "Daddy, how about tasting this tea?" I'm packing a pack to send to you! It's busy today, and you can't be free for a while, so you want to drink well, just bring it to you. ”

"What's good? Sell it like this? When he came back and saw his daughter's smiling face, Duanmu Jun's heart was like eating a piece of chilled honeydew melon, and he was indescribably comfortable.

"This is this year's Xingong Tianchi Baihao, the emperor rewarded a lot to Concubine De Niangniang, and Niangniang saw that I liked it and rewarded me with some." Duanmu Qing looked at Duanmu Jun with a smile.

Duanmu Jun tasted the tea in his mouth, thought about it and asked, "Why did Qing'er play well with Concubine De?" ”

Yesterday's incident, Duanmu Jun also heard about it, and learned that the pearl turned out to be a fine work from a distant country, and he was also taken aback, and later heard that Duanmu Qing went to Concubine De's palace to apologize, and was deeply praised by Concubine De.

Duanmu Qing smiled and asked Cai Wei and Lu Xi to take Duanmu Su down to rest, but he sat opposite Duanmu Jun and looked at him, "Daddy, as long as anyone with eyes can see the current situation, the battle between the prince and the family, the family will inevitably be involved in the factional struggle, if the daughter is not mistaken, Daddy is planning to be alone and not help each other, right?" ”

Hearing her say this, Duanmu Jun was shocked, and couldn't help but look at his daughter, who was only twelve years old, how could she know if she had never said anything in her own mind?

As if he had guessed Duanmu Jun's thoughts, Duanmu Qing smiled slightly, "If that's not the case, why would Daddy be in a hurry to dismiss his position in the household department!" The second brother wouldn't have returned to Tianjing so early. ”

Nodding slightly, Duanmu Jun's expression was a little complicated, "Our family was originally a merchant household, because your grandfather used the wealth of the whole family to help His Majesty succeed, and your uncle and I were fighting and rolling on the battlefield to earn this family business." ”

As if remembering the past, Duanmu Jun's face had a faint and almost invisible sadness, "After your grandfather's generation, our family has experienced everything, although the dragon's work is dazzling, but the risk is also extremely great, like now our family has reached this status, it is enough, do not ask for hard work, but ask for no fault, and the younger generations can also live well." ”

Thinking back carefully about the events of his previous life, Duanmu Qing had to admit that his father, who always seemed to be inactive, was good enough for himself in terms of children's affection, so he always felt a little sorry every time he saw him now.

"But now the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third uncle are still officials in the imperial court, and the official rank is not low, you are still the marquis, our family wants to avoid it, but it is not easy, even if you don't express your position, I am afraid that while competing for the support of our family, I will think that it is the second prince and the party.

Yesterday's incident, except for the Nine Emperors, the other princes pleaded for our family, but it made His Majesty think that we were not involved in any party, and I will personally go over to apologize to Concubine De, and I can also clear the suspicion of falling to the queen for the misunderstanding brought by Aunt Li. ”

"So that's the case," Duanmu Jun heard this, his brows furrowed, his eyes were a little relieved, but he immediately felt a little pity, "Qing'er, you have grown up all these years, and your father rarely asks about the affairs of the inner courtyard, do you ...... Suffered a lot, right? ”

Probably because of the last fan, Duanmu Jun made up for it by himself, thinking that Duanmu Qing was vigorously squeezed out by Li Ningshuang, and when he heard his daughter's words today, he felt that she was forced by the situation.

took out a booklet from his arms, Duanmu Jun handed it to Duanmu Qing, "This is Daddy's private property, and I'll hand it over to you now!" Don't make a statement. ”
